Dong Wang Gong's Demise

The Myriad Immortals Formation was broken, and the cultivators of Zizhou Prefecture were all listless and collapsed on the ground.

Dong Wang Gong, who was the main formation master, spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. His cultivation, which had soared to the late Quasi-Sage stage, continuously declined.

Even his own mid-stage Quasi-Sage cultivation, achieved by severing two corpses, began to waver precariously.

Seeing that Zizhou Prefecture, which he had painstakingly created, was now filled with the dead, the injured, and those who had fled, Dong Wang Gong's eyes gradually began to show wisps of black energy. He was actually falling into demonic possession due to his inability to accept the current situation.

After falling into demonic possession, Dong Wang Gong's eyes turned blood red, filled with madness. He charged towards the demon race army.

Upon seeing this, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi immediately moved to intercept him.

The two began to fight again.

Unfortunately, the gap in their strength was evident. Even with Dong Wang Gong in a demonic state, he was no match for Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, who was known as the strongest under the Sages. He was quickly suppressed and could only defend himself.

Dong Wang Gong's expression turned fierce. He endured a blow from the Eastern Emperor Bell and retreated.

Then, he hurled the Dragon Head Staff, a symbol of the Head of Male Immortals bestowed by the Dao Ancestor and a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, fiercely towards Eastern Emperor Tai Yi.

"Explode!"

Dong Wang Gong shouted, actually detonating the Dragon Head Staff.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's pupils contracted sharply. The power of a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure self-destructing was something even he dared not face head-on.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi poured his magic power into the Eastern Emperor Bell like it was free. The Eastern Emperor Bell rapidly enlarged, enveloping him completely.

When Di Jun saw Dong Wang Gong's action, he quickly enveloped the entire demon race with the Grand Formation of the Stars.

BOOM!!!

A deafening roar.

The power of the Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure's self-destruction flattened everything within a million-mile radius.

As the smoke cleared, it was seen that the demon race members maintaining the Grand Formation of the Stars were all bleeding from their seven orifices, completely devoid of any fighting strength.

The Eastern Emperor Bell let out a mournful cry, its divine light dimmed. It returned to its original size and back into Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's hand.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's lips were bleeding, and his armor was tattered, but his aura was largely unaffected. Most of the power had been blocked by the Eastern Emperor Bell.

Seeing the maddened Dong Wang Gong, Di Jun decided to end the fight quickly.

The two highest-ranking leaders of the demon race simultaneously attacked Dong Wang Gong.

Instantly, the scorching and domineering Solar True Fire burned in the sky above the East Sea, as if it would evaporate the sea.

Dong Wang Gong was already no match for Eastern Emperor Tai Yi alone; how could he possibly contend with Di Jun joining the fray? Soon, Dong Wang Gong was listlessly lying on the ground, his aura weak.

"Dong Wang Gong, you are the Head of Male Immortals, yet you have acted against the natural order, causing the Great Desolation to lament. Today, my demon race shall act on behalf of heaven and eliminate you, this scourge!"

Di Jun looked at the fallen Dong Wang Gong and spoke coldly.

Dong Wang Gong sneered, his face full of disdain.

"It's merely a matter of the victor becoming king and the loser becoming a bandit."

"Since you understand that, then rest in peace."

As Di Jun spoke, the Solar True Fire on his body ignited once more.

"I am the Head of Male Immortals, personally enfeoffed by the Dao Ancestor, Emperor Donghua of Zizhou Prefecture. No one can kill me!"

Dong Wang Gong roared, burning his origin power. His body began to swell, clearly intending to self-destruct as he saw no other way out.

Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi were greatly alarmed. However, Dong Wang Gong's self-destruction was too fast; they had no time to stop him.

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi could only once again summon the Eastern Emperor Bell. Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Tai Yi poured all their magic power into the Eastern Emperor Bell.

BOOM!!!

Another deafening roar. Penglai Immortal Island was completely shattered.

The self-destruction of a Quasi-Sage was no less powerful than the previous Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Dragon Head Staff. The Eastern Emperor Bell let out another mournful cry. This time, its divine light was almost completely gone. Clearly, the two explosions had caused it immense damage. Even though it was an Innate Supreme Treasure, its sentience was temporarily lost, and it would take at least a few Eons to recover.

Di Jun and Tai Yi were also not faring well. They were right at the epicenter of Dong Wang Gong's self-destruction. Di Jun was relatively fine, but Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was in a sorry state. He had first endured the self-destruction of a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure, and then the self-destruction of Dong Wang Gong, a Quasi-Sage Great Power. He was severely injured, and his cultivation was even showing signs of declining.

At the very moment Dong Wang Gong self-destructed, a wisp of Yin-Yang Two Energies quietly arrived and swept away a wisp of Dong Wang Gong's remnant soul, undetected by anyone.

Di Jun looked down at Zifu Prefecture, which was now a ruin with heavy casualties, and coldly ordered.

"The cultivators of Zifu Prefecture, surrender and live! Those who resist will be annihilated, body and soul!"

Like a tree falling, its branches scattered. Seeing Dong Wang Gong self-destruct, the cultivators of Zifu Prefecture knelt and surrendered one after another. Those who resisted were quickly overwhelmed by the demon race army.

Thus, Zifu Prefecture, the force that had dominated for a time and whose leader was personally enfeoffed by the Dao Ancestor as the Head of Male Immortals, was completely destroyed.

Even Dong Wang Gong himself met a self-destructive end.

The Divine Senses of the Great Powers from all over the Great Desolation glimpsed the outcome of this battle, and all fell silent.

Although Dong Wang Gong lacked strength and character, he maintained the dignity of the Head of Male Immortals in the end, ending his life in a tragic manner.

This battle once again deeply imprinted the ferocity of the demon race, the might of the Eastern Emperor, and the strategy of Di Jun into the hearts of all beings in the Great Desolation. The demon race had established its dominance, and its prestige grew even greater.

No one noticed that the Calamity Qi of the Calamity had already begun to spread throughout the Great Desolation.

On the Sun Star, the Demon Race returned triumphantly. Before they could celebrate, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi hastily entered seclusion to stabilize his cultivation and recover from his injuries.

Long before the Demon Race and Zizhou Prefecture went to war, Qing Xuan, who had already emerged from his enlightenment, had also observed the entire battle with his divine sense.

[It seems this Dong Wang Gong has some backbone. But has the Demon Race already comprehended the Grand Formation of the Stars so early without the help of their brother-in-law? I wonder how the Witch Race's Twelve Divine Fiend Great Formation is progressing.]

[Now that Houtu has a Primordial Spirit, the Pangu True Body summoned by the Twelve Divine Fiend Great Formation should be even stronger.]

[With Zizhou Prefecture destroyed, the next battle will be the first decisive clash between the Witches and Demons. It's a shame that old Hongjun is biased. Otherwise, the Demon Race could have been wiped out in that one battle.]

[When Dong Wang Gong self-destructed, I think I saw the appearance of Yin-Yang Two Energies. Could it be that Lao Tzu made a move to save Dong Wang Gong's remnant soul?]

[It's possible. After all, legend has it that Dong Wang Gong's remnant soul reincarnated as Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals, who is part of the Human Teachings' lineage.]

Listening to Qing Xuan's thoughts constantly echoing, Nuwa silently began to spectate, while also noting down some important information.

Ignoring these for the moment, Nuwa had been vaguely sensing something constantly summoning her recently. The Primordial Violet Qi sealed within her Sea of Consciousness was also repeatedly breaking through the seal, wanting to merge with her Primordial Spirit.

Nuwa knew that this must be the opportunity for her to become a Sage, which Qing Xuan had mentioned in his thoughts, was approaching.

Thus, she also entered seclusion, continuously comprehending the Law of Creation, while simultaneously reinforcing the seals on the Primordial Violet Qi in her Sea of Consciousness with several more layers.

Time slowly passed, and the Primordial World welcomed a brief period of peace.

However, undercurrents were already beginning to surge!
